SUA Order amendment


Effective July 18, 2025, amendments to Hong Kong’s Small Unmanned Aircraft (SUA) Order (Cap. 448G) have expanded the regulatory framework to introduce a new “Category C” classification for SUAs weighing over 25 kg and up to 150 kg. This update is a strategic move to support the growth of Hong Kong’s low-altitude economy, enabling trial operations for a broader range of SUAs—including heavier and unconventional aircraft types—while upholding stringent safety standards.

Key Aspects of the SUA Order Amendment:

  • Extended Weight Range: The amendments introduce “Category C” SUAs, encompassing aircraft weighing between 25 kg and 150 kg. 
  • Risk-Based Regulatory Framework: SUA operations are regulated based on their weight and operational risk level. 
  • Advanced Operations: Operations involving Category C aircraft (above 25 kg) fall under “Advanced Operations,” requiring specific permission from the Civil Aviation Department (CAD). 
  • Facilitating Unconventional Aircraft Trials: The amendments empower the Chief Executive to permit trials of unconventional aircraft under specific conditions. 
  • Other Regulatory Requirements: These operations are also subject to other requirements, such as the registration of SUAs and remote pilots, insurance, and training and assessment of remote pilots. 

With the new SUA Order taking effect as of June 1st, the Hong Kong unmanned aviation industry is on its way to be properly regulated and gain the respect it deserves.
